It's not surprising that shelters take in stray dogs, but have you ever heard of cafes opening their doors to stray dogs? There is a cafe in Greece that invites stray dogs into the street on cold nights after closing and allows them to curl up on sofa chairs for the night. Warm picture exposure, so that netizens are both moved and sad, but also unexpectedly for the cafe brought high popularity.

Love Cafe is good for not knowing

The cafe is called HOTT SPOTT and is located in Mytilene, a city on the northern Aegean island of Lesvos. Since July 2015, the cafe has been open every day after closing at 3 a.m. to welcome dogs to spend the cold night. Some of them are sick, and they might not have survived the winter without a warm resting place.

The cafe's undisclosed kindness was discovered by Eustratios Papanis, an assistant professor of sociology at Ege University, who took photos and posted them on Facebook. The warm scene touched a large number of netizens.

"Every night after closing, stray dogs come and spend the night here. There was no problem with us. The employees and customers didn't object. On the contrary, many people came because of it." Antonis, who works at the cafe, told Popenez,"We've been approached by TV shows who want to shoot inside the store and make a show about dogs."

It seemed that good intentions were rewarded. The restaurant unexpectedly increased its popularity because of its love for stray dogs.

Refugee flows combined with debt crisis unexpectedly unite Greeks

Popennis says the refugee crisis in Europe has changed people's attitudes toward people, and people are more concerned about people and things around them that need help. Greeks became more united on environmental and humanitarian issues, and stricter laws were enacted to protect animals. According to Popenez, the kindness of this caring cafe is not an isolated case.

Many netizens left a message thanking the owner and staff of this restaurant for their love:

"Greece has been in debt crisis for so many years, but it can still maintain a love for people and animals. It's really not easy."

"To be able to help others with one's own strength in the poorest time, no matter who is deeply touched by this sentiment."
